yeah i think the 440 turbo clutch fits quite a few f4r engines across the range.

supposed to be quite good too - although failing that just by the standard oe valeo clutck kit, its just as good.

 

[ben_p]

I will be running 230-240 bhp and about 175-180 torque so I think the oem one is past it

 

[maynard]

quite possibly yeah. 440 turbo clutch seems like an upgrade though - will confirm tomorrow if its a direct replacement or not, pretty sure it is though.

 

[drhowser]

i think the volvo kit is supposed to be the best thing short of helix or alcon.

it might have been burp i saw posting about it?

 

[Brett]

At least you will have a new cluch in for when its finished. Better it goes now than 4 months down the line.

 

[Waitey]

Volvo clutch needs modding a fair bit.

Just get helix to make you one to your spec.

Will only be about £200.

 

[ben_p]

I wish! More like 350!

 

[clio_luke]

uprated clutch and lightened flywheel going in while the clutch is out?
or are you just going for oem?

 

[ben_p]

Already got a lightend crank and fly dude,

 

[ben_p]

http://motorsport.rallynuts.com/renderitem.asp?ctid=2166&prid=3725 can get a ceramatlic plate from here but i would still need a pressure plate, which im not sure there is any point of having that disc with a OEM pressure plate? lol

 

[geesus69]

im sure you will work the rest out

 

[Waitey]

Hardly

I got a custom one made to my spec for the MX-5 for £250. That was with organic disc rated to 300bhp/260lb/ft
